Is this a generation thing? Are players so entitled these days that they need to have unlimited free respecs and the ability to turn Gale into a Rogue because they want? Dump Intelligence completely and still multiclass into an Intelligence class? Get some readily available magic gear that fixes everything? I.e. do whatever you want. Why? Where is this coming from? Games have rules and the rules are what make a game. Without sensible rules being enforced it's just lame sandbox play that never feels rewarding since you don't actually have to even learn the rules.

Larian are taking this "power to the player" stuff way too far. To the point where it actually hurts the game, with or without the player realizing it.

Multiclassing in 5e is far from perfect. But WotC have to fix that, not Larian. All their rules changes in BG3 so far have made D&D a worse game. And the Divinity game system is pretty garbage, being the obvious reference here for what "works" in a video game. It doesn't. They will probably change multiclassing into something where everyone basically gets "fun spells for free". A Divinity like mess where every character is basically a spellcaster to some degree and class identity does not exist. Much like with the scroll use that has remained free for all for years now. There's a reason why multiclassing has ability score requirements in D&D. The restrictions aren't even strict but they give structure and strengthen class identity. Being a Wizard or Sorcerer is fun because not literally everyone can claim to be one, or even be encouraged to be one by the system design. This is something Larian will never understand, based on the Divinity system which is as lame as it gets.

Someone's personal preference of a classless game system is being pushed really hard into D&D and it's not acceptable.
